Now THIS is worth the visit. Absolutely wonderful with lots of hiking opportunities and solitude. We were there in July and
The road up to the top was still blocked with snow, yet we were able to drive up quite a way and the VIEW!!! Wow. Recommend a stay in Hellnar as a great and private base.
According to National Geographic, the best chance of visiting the island is by obtaining a permit from the UAE or waiting for eco-tourism companies to start offering tours to the island.
